About 16 Croyland Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Croyland Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9GH). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1863 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a C (score 73).
